I'm back to my Mum's this weekend and I haven't finished emptying the crates from last weekend yet.
I have sold quite a few things, some somewhat unexpectedly.
I've also been moving advertised stuff into the Summerhouse for safety (and my sanity), and I've been sorting and resorting my packaging supplies.
I had some feedback on ebay which made me chuckle. It was complimenting me on the strength of my packaging. The buyer was lovely, and we had exchanged a few messages through the process.
I didn't sleep at all well last night, and I'm not sure why. I'm tried this morning, and I had a long list of Ps to do
*Puddings - wrap
*Package and post sales from last night
*Prep marmalade
*Pay in coins to Mum's account
*unPack the next crate
*Photograph items and prep listings
*Put washing on
*Pile up stuff from airers ready to press
I can't remember the rest of the list now.
I started working through it. Eventually, after abortive 3 trips upstairs to get the packaging for the puddings, I cleared and cleaned a worktop so I could do the final wrapping of the puddings. I made only two puddings this year, one for us and one for my BFF. I'd started them on Tuesday afternoong, potted and steamed them on Wednesday, and cleaned the basins and replaced the baking parchment and foil tops yesterday. The next step is to wrap them in pretty transparent film.
I did my friend's pudding first. Huuuge sgeet of film. Pyudding upside down, TGather the film around it, make a flourish with eth film, tie it off. Lovely! I put it on the side to take round to her tomorrow.
I cut the next piece of film from the huge roll. I pur our Pudding top down., gathered the film around the basin, flourish tied. I put it in the cupboard.
I then took the roll of film back upstairs to where it lives for the other 364 days of the year. When I came down, I saw our pudding on the side, unwrapped.
I was a little puzzled. I had definitely wrapped two puddings. t was definitelyours becauise it was in a china basin
I had made only 2 large puddings (I made a small one as a tester, which I've eaten. God I love Delia's recipe).
I went to the cupboard and got out our pudding. Except it wasn't our pudding. It was in a plastic bowl and was my BFF's pudding. With 2 layers of very fancy film wrapping.
How did I not see that when I was doing it?!
